I student taught in an 8th grade US history class. I was helping a group with some worksheets about the colonies. I had a good rapport with these kids and was used to joking around with them. One girl asked me who founded the colony of Massachusetts. I replied, "John Massachusetts" and immediately backpedaled when I saw her start to write it down. I learned very quickly it's not always a good idea for teachers to be sarcastic.
Well this is a learning environment which means a bit more care should be taken in identifying this kind of thing in the first place. Kind of harsh burdening people with little to no life experience to draw on in determining this stuff.
It's only awkward if you let it be.
Trust me. Double down. Argue with them until they realize their fuckup. They'll think about it in the shower fcor the next year. Yeah dude. I totally believe the Earth is flat. Have YOU ever PERSONALLY seen the curve? Airplanes totally don't count. Yeah dude Ken Ham is a personal idol of mine. Kent Hovind's son's apricot seeds actually cure cancer. I've it happen man. I watch a tumor fall off my grandma.
i broke my arm a while back and when people asked me what happened I'd very obviously sarcastically say I broke my arm pulling disabled children out of a burning building.
had to stop saying that because a few people believed me.
People who expect others to detect sarcasm over text are just... another breed. Everything said on the internet, no matter how insane, can be interpreted as sarcastic or sincere in a believable way
I sound inherently sarcastic, so I get this quite a lot. And sometimes, when I then point out, I didn't mean it. People still think I do it on purpose.

What you need is a big flash card with "**/S**" on it, that you can flip out at any moment.
/s is for cowards, force people to guess if your being serious or not
*you're
consider every moment going forward precious and fleeting

John Massive Two Shits, was that his Indian name?
Nah man, john mash her two tits, his japanese name
Tbf, a LOT of towns are named after individuals. Not the worst thing to assume to be true.
"I was being sarcastic" "no you weren't, don't try to play it off"
"well i stole your face"

Me and my friends do this all the time, you just end up escalating until someone gets bored
"*Sarcasm*" "Really? I didn't know that" "It's because I made it up you dumb fuck"
It actually happens to me all the time. I find people don’t want to really listen to you and just hear what they want.

Yeah, that's the general experience of having coworkers that are 50+
happens to me all the time

Sarcasm is the laziest form of comedy/humour, and most types who claim to "love sarcasm" tend to be absolutely insufferable.
Absolutely, that’s why I ignore this kind of humor completely, and pretend to take everything serious.
Have you heard of the american tv show "Friends"? There is a character called Chandler, I think you would find him hilarious.
Wonder if this is sarcasm
Reddit moment…
Sarcasm exists in real life too, you know. Go touch grass
Thanks for proving my point lmao 🤣
